Explanation:

1. Figurative language examples could include similes, metaphors, personification etc. in the opening assembly description. For example, if there are descriptions comparing the setting to something else (simile), giving human - like qualities to non - human elements (personification), or making an implicit comparison (metaphor).
2. To determine Ralph's feelings about being chief, one should look for his thoughts, words, and actions in the chapter. Text evidence could be his statements about the responsibilities or his reactions to situations as chief.
3. The word "perpetually" means constantly. In the context, Ralph is annoyed by having to repeatedly flick his hair out of his eyes.
4. To find Ralph's complaints about the boys' behavior, one should search for his statements during the assembly where he expresses dissatisfaction with their actions.
5. The littluns' description of the "beast" can be found in their words or actions related to their fear. Comparing this fear to previous descriptions can show differences.
6. Piggy's suggestions and reasoning about the fear of the beast can be found in his statements in the text.
7. Since the question is incomplete, we assume it could be something like "What does the author mean by 'The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.'?" Answer choices could be: a. Society's rules are breaking down. b. The boys are discovering new things. c. The weather is changing. The correct answer is a as the context implies the loss of the ordered and known world they came from.

Answer:

3. b. constantly
4. Answers will vary based on the text. For example, he may complain that the boys are not building shelters and are not keeping the fire going.
5. Answers will vary based on the text. For example, they may describe it as a large, scary thing. The difference could be that before they were more dismissive and now they are more scared.
